I've just received word that Arkansas is going to have a homebrew competition apparently for the first time at it's State Fair in October this year. We're making progress in a state where a substantial number of counties are still 'dry' (i.e., no alcohol can be sold there). Unfortunately, because it is a "State of Arkansas" sponsored function, entries will not be accepted from out-of-state brewers. If there are any Arkansas brewers here, info can be found at ... EDIT: http://wildernist.googlepages.com/arkansasstatefairbeercompetition (that's a better link).

I understand that they are also looking for beer judges, which I presume can be from out-of-state.
